Makes me examine my days and put my ideas into one place

Journal with pocket from Leuchtturm

An exercise that I cannot live without

Makes me glad I’m a designer

Catherine Zask’s website where she takes pictures of her desktop (yes, the wooden one) with projects, food, art and the stuff of a great messy design process. (Thanks to John Kjos for this one).

Makes me glad I have taste buds.
